I tried a vanilla and a chocolate cupcake from Dierbergs on a recommendation from Sugar Gang Members "Chewybacca-nista" and "Wendilicious".  6 packs of cupcakes pre-decorated with various themes for under $5.  You can't beat the price.

Price: $4.59 for 6

Size: About homemade.

Presentation: Very bright and decorative, most have some plastic decoration/toy, like a ring.

Frosting: Sugary sweet, shortening based, left a thick coating in my mouth.

Cake: Medium density, semi-moist, lightly sweet, left a light after taste.

Notes: I would guess that Dierbergs is targeting kids with their cupcakes, from the bright decorations and the very sugary taste, and I think they would love them…”Wendilicious” loves them and she is not a kid.  

Overall: To me this cupcake tasted like it was full of preservatives, not my thing.  Like I said, “Wendilicious”and "Chewy", loved them.

Chocolate

Price: 6 for $4.59

Size: Homemade

Frosting: Lighter, almost whipped, light chocolate flavor, no real after taste or coating

Cake: Very moist, mid dense, light after taste.

Notes: It tasted like it was made with chocolate flavors, rather than real chocolate.  But if you don't mind artificial flavors, it was a pretty good cupcake, especially for the price.

Overall: I go for quality.  So I would not buy this again, but I might not be opposed to eating it again.

Tippin's Peach Pie

Price: $7.00

Size: Standard pie, 

Crust:Flaky, on the heavier side

Filling: The peach filling is on the tangier side of sweet.

Notes: I like that the list of ingredients is short, and most are not that bad.  I think I'd want it warm and with ice cream next time.

Gang Notes: Wendilicious feels that if you need another dessert (i.e. ice cream) to make your dessert taste good, then is it really that good? 

Overall: Wendilicious would pass on this one.  Though if it were warm and had ice cream  it would be better.

Stay sweet,
